Old School House

The Old School House got used for screening movies, because the new school house building wasn’t big enough for movie screenings. The bio box in the Old School House was on the verandah. Movie screenings in the Old School House started in April 1967. The Old School House was also as a church(religion unknown?), and also P&C(parents and citizens) meetings.

The people at Rawlinna may also have seen movies that were screened in the movie carriage of the Tea and Sugar Train that delivered food, mail, and other supplies to the remote towns on the Trans Australia railway line between Kalgoorlie(in Western Australia), and Port Augusta(South Australia), starting in 1917. Later the service(date unknown?) only ran between Cook(South Australia) and Port Augusta(Douth Australia) and ending on 30/8/1996. Some of the carriages are now on display at the National Railway Museum(Port Adelaide, South Australia).
